Shocking Serenade

Justice may be blind, but it's definitely not deaf. A lawyer who represented a convicted cop killer faces disciplinary action for singing "I Shot the Sheriff" while leaving a Montreal courtroom. Defense lawyer Christian Gauthier apologized Monday to the dead policeman's family members for his insensitive performance of the Bob Marley hit. "If I hurt them, if I added to their plight, I'm sincerely sorry," Gauthier said. "I didn't think about it, and if I had, I wouldn't have sang." While his client got 25 years in jail for shooting and killing policeman Benoit L'Ecuyer, Gauthier faces punishment ranging from a fine to disbarment.
